Benny Blanco has given fans a sneak peek into Selena Gomez's birthday celebrations in Italy as the actress turns 34.
The happily married couple marked Gomez's birthday with a dreamy cooking class in the Italian countryside, which Blanco was kind enough to document on TikTok so we could all live vicariously through them.
Beginning the video, music producer Blanco, 38, says to the camera: "Let's make an Italian feast for my wife's birthday."
He then captures shots of the Only Murders In The Building actress making pasta from scratch and shaping it into spaghetti, before it goes into a pot of water.
Blanco, who wed Gomez in September 2025, zoomed in on his wife's face as she took her first bite with a smile.

Elsewhere in the TikTok, Blanco and Gomez make Fiori di zucca, mixing lemon zest and herbs into a soft cheese, before the mix is stuffed into squash.
By this point, if your mouth wasn't already watering, the couple work on a dish of eggplant parmesan.
Documenting Gomez laying out the eggplant on top of a marinara sauce, Blanco proudly told his viewers: "My baby makes the best eggplant parmesan."
Blanco, who produced songs like 'Eastside' by Halsey and Khalid, and 'Hot n Cold' by Katy Perry, was clearly mesmerised by the final dish.
Filming himself enjoying the meal, he told the camera: "Okay, you scoop a little bit and then you put it on a slice of bread."
Taking a bite before nodding across the table to Gomez with approval, he gushes: "That's the best thing I've tasted so far in Italy and you made it."
Grinning back at him, Selena replies: "No, we made it!"
Too cute!
In comments, fans made it know that they were thrilled - not only to see Selena Gomez so happy on her birthday, but to see her cooking up a storm.
One viewer wrote: "THAT is real cooking, looks delicious and a perfect birthday menu! good job, chef !"
Another gushed: "Couple goals. Thank you for reminding me that true love still exists"
Others held out hope that they might get to see more of Gomez's five-star cooking again in the future.
"Stop teasing us! We miss “Selena + chef," one fan begged.
Another asked Blanco: "Can you tell her to make more episodes of her cooking show on HBO please I love it sm."
Fans are referring to Gomez's cooking show Selena + Chef, which ran from 2020 to 2023 across HBO Max and the Food Network.
The series saw Selena invite different professional chefs into her kitchen to help her tackle different cuisines and share kitchen hacks.
While it's uncertain whether we'll see Gomez cooking on our screens any time soon, fans can rest assured that she is still cheffing it up with Blanco behind the scenes.
